    Damn shame to see the internet move backwards because Google refuses to use the standardized APIs.

    Edit: Usually HN is so angry about Google not following web standards but everyone in this thread seems to be in favor of Google trampling the WebAuthn standard. Weird.

    Would be nice. Even with the experimental settings turned on in about:config, I could only read input from my Yubikey, I couldn't add one. I had to install Chromium just so I could add my Yubikey to my Google account.

    This is good. It's been working with FastMail for months so I'm not sure what the problem was.

    Not a web dev. Is there a way to force U2F with firefox for google accounts? The lack of (obvious) U2F support in FF for Google accounts is one of the things holding me back from switching back to FF from Chrome.

    Does this mean I can finally use my Yubikey in Firefox on Linux as my second factor authentication with my Google accounts?

    For all the hooks Google has into nearly every Android device through Google Play, I would've thought the one party burned in ROMs wouldn't be a problem for would be Google.

    If you’re on Linux, you’ll want u2f-hideaway-policy installed to avoid permission issues.

    Does this make Ledger Nanos work on Firefox now?
